{Cut to a white background with animated blue tiles. Homestar Runner and Strong Bad float in onto the screen}
STRONG BAD: Introducing new Homestar Runner {the label appears} SQUINTmojis!
{Homestar and Strong Bad are converted into an amalgam of emoji signs. Homestar is a bathtub, siren, and a sake bottle and cup with blue stripes. Strong Bad is a red car, Do Not Enter Sign, a Japanese cracker, boxing glove, table tennis paddle, and musical notes.}
STRONG BAD: Guaranteed to give you the {pan slowly across the two emoji figures as Homestar and Strong Bad flash on top of them for comparison} the slightest impression of a Homestar Runner character!

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Simply type them in...
{A series of emojis appears consisting of a magnifying glass, a green lizard, a half-chopped cucumber, a green battery, another lizard, and a turtle is entered on the lower talk balloon.}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} ...and squint those eyes up!

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} More...
{Squintification turns up to 10%. The image becomes blurrier}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover, more anticipatory} More...
{Squintification turns up to 25%. The image becomes much blurrier}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover, angrily} More!
{The scene shakes and blurs to 75%. Both images are barely visible}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover, laughing} There we go!
{A rubber stamp with the word "INDISTINGUISHABLE!" is stamped on}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Indistinguishable!
{Cut to Homestar in the field. His propeller cap is on backwards and his eyes look saggy and tired. The corner reads "Actual Talk-Say"}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {mumbling} I this one time I was hanging out with this kid, {pulls out a smartphone with a chicken head, siren, and a sake bottle and cup resembling Homestar} and he got a Squintmoji. And I was like, {pulls it away and squints very hard} "Hey, that's Homestar Runner".
{He moves the phone further and squints harder. Homestar puts down the phone and smiles.}
GENERIC ANNOUNCER: That's a great story!
{Homestar's hat spins around on his head.}
{Cut to another white tiled background. Homestar, Strong Bad, The Cheat, the King of Town, and Strong Sad appear and are brought up to size}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} New Homestar Runner {the label appears} Squintmojis!
{The "squint" part is squeezed as the five figures transform into figures comprised of emojis. Text appears as an announcer speaks.}
GENERIC ANNOUNCER: "Oh jeez, squintmojis!"
{The scene briefly goes dark and blurry in a squint, then back to normal}.
GENERIC ANNOUNCER: Suh— somebody's already used that, right? {the music cuts out} We should check into that. Get Lawrence. Is he— is he still on the payroll? Lawrence?
